Bleeding During Intercourse, Please Give Me Your Suggestion!
I am 50 years old and I had intercourse yesterday. I am menopausal. My partner is rather large and I bled during penetration. Bright red drops. It stopped pretty quickly. I think I was aroused enough to be sufficiently lubricated upon initial penetration...could I have become dry and his penis irritated my vaginal walls or could his hitting my cervix repeatedly cause the bleed?

well you could have been dry considering your age. Lubricate sufficiently before intercourse. if bleeding occurs again get in touch with your gynecologist.
